Stephen Edred Flowers, commonly known as Stephen E. Flowers or his pen name Edred Thorsson, is an American runologist, university lecturer, and proponent of occultism, especially of Neo-Germanic paganism and Odinism. He helped establish the Germanic Neopagan movement in North America and has also been active in left-hand path occult organizations. He has over three dozen published books and hundreds of published papers and translations on a disparate range of subjects. Flowers has worked to promote the European New Right.




Occult career



Flowers has established or been associated with the publishing companies named Rûna-Raven Press (c. 1993-2015), Lodestar Books (c. 2011-2019), and Arcana Europa Media (c. 2020-present). As Thorsson, he has been published by Arktos.
In the Spring of 1995, due to inner turmoil, Flowers withdrew from any involvement with the Ring of Troth. In August 1995 he and Dawn traveled to Iceland and England to strengthen the work of the Rune-Gild. In April 1996 Flowers retired from his position as Grand Master of the Order of the Trapezoid in order to focus more intently on Rune-Gild matters.
A 2011 article in The Pomegranate described Flowers as a publisher of Alain de Benoist "who has openly expressed the importance of promoting the New Right among Pagans in the United States". Damon T. Berry's 2017 book Blood and Faith said Flowers was "deeply involved" in the North American New Right. An article in Spiral Nature in 2019 noted his associations with Red Ice TV.
